If you have driven along any of the highways in the Greater Orlando area
you have probably noticed the fleets of limousines, airport shuttles,
hotel courtesy vans and tour buses that zip along the highways at all
hours of the day and night. It should therefore come as no surprise to
learn that many of these relatively large vehicles are transporting visitors
to, and from, the large theme parks for which the area is known.

Aside from the occasional minor traffic accident, accidents involving resort
and hotel shuttles or large touring buses are not common in the Orlando
area. Unfortunately, when a bus accident does occur it always means that
there is the potential for a multi-victim accident and seriously injured
accident victims.

Fortunately, most bus accident injuries are relatively minor and are usually
the result of passengers who are standing while a bus is in motion are
thrown about when their bus collides with another vehicle or when passengers
are struck by unsecured baggage that flies from storage racks during an accident.

According to federal and state investigators, most bus accidents can ultimately
be traced back to one or more factors:

Who Is Responsible For Bus Accident Injuries?

Any business has a legal obligation to protect its customers from a danger
to the customer that could lead to an injury. If the business fails to
meet that obligation, the business may be held liable for any injuries
that may occur because of its breach of duty to protect.

From the above concept of a legal duty to protect it follows that any injury
that occurs on a bus is usually held to be the responsibility of the company
operating the bus. There are some instances, of course, when the bus operator
is not held to be responsible such as when a bus is struck by another vehicle.

Damages That Can Be Recovered Following a Bus Accident

“Damages” is the term used to describe the compensation that
may be awarded to victims of an accidental or an intentional injury. Damages
may include:

• Current and anticipated future medical expenses
• Lost wages or other income due to an inability to work after an accident
• Repair or replacement of damaged personal property
• Pain or emotional distress arising from the accident
• Punitive or unspecified compensatory damages

After an accident, the responsible party's insurance company may try
to reduce the claim amount. Commonly, insurance adjusters are trained
to get information from the
injured to assist in reducing the claim. Though some insurers are less guilty
of this practice than others, it is important to realize that insurance
companies are profit-oriented corporations and reducing claims results
in increased profits for shareholders. This can create a situation for
the injured in which they are offered a settlement that does not truly
reflect the damages suffered. If you accept this settlement, you lose
the ability to get more money should your injuries require further medical
treatments. It is critical that victims get legal assistance in any personal
injury case, and
